c++ colour text

To display colored text in C++, you can use escape sequences. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

Step 1: Include the necessary header file.

#include <iostream>

Step 2: Use escape sequences to change the text color.

std::cout << "\033[31m"; // Set the text color to red
std::cout << "This text is in red." << std::endl;
std::cout << "\033[0m"; // Reset the text color to the default

Explanation: - In this example, we include the <iostream> header file to use the input/output stream objects and functions. - To change the text color, we use the escape sequence \033[ followed by the desired color code. - The color code 31 represents the color red. You can use different color codes for different colors. - After setting the color, we use std::cout to display the colored text. - To reset the color back to the default, we use the escape sequence \033[0m.

Please note that the use of escape sequences to display colored text is not standard and may not work on all systems or terminals. It is recommended to use a library like ncurses for more advanced text manipulation and color handling in C++.
